Use the Team Utilization portlet to view total effort (actuals + remaining ETC) for each staff member who is assigned to project tasks. By default, this portlet's graph displays aggregate effort by each staff member. Aggregate in this case refers to the effort for all of the tasks to which they are assigned. However, you can drill down through the graph to view individual effort by individual task.

Data is displayed on this portlet by resource by time period. The time period columns are, by default, set to weekly, and always start with the current week. When you scroll over a time period, a note appears that provides a brief summary of what you see. In this example, the note explains that while resource Gibson was allocated for 40 hours during the week of 6/13/05, she actually worked only 30. Scrolling over the week of 7/4/05 for resource Dossola displays her Allocation Threshold (in yellow) is 40 hours, she has been booked (in red) for 80.
The allocation color code works as follows:
